IPL 2023: 5 Teams that might pick Cameron Green in auction
Cameron Green has taken the international circuit by storm with his spectacular performances.
2. Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in the history of the Indian Premier League, having won the tournament on five occasions. However, they were a pale shadow of their vintage self in the 15th edition and ended the league stage at the bottom-most position, with four wins in 14 matches. One of the reasons for their poor season was their misfiring overseas all-rounders.
Mumbai retained Kieron Pollard for the 2022 season and MI would have expected big things from him. However, the T20 giant was far from his best and could only score 144 runs in 11 games at a poor strike rate of 107.46. On the bowling front, he could take just four wickets at an economy of 8.93. MI also had Australian all-rounder Daniel Sams in the last edition. Though the Milperra-born fared well with the ball picking up 13 scalps in 11 games, he was quite mediocre with the bat scoring mere 38 runs at a strike rate of 105.56.
Ahead of the IPL 2023 auction, Mumbai parted ways with Sams while Pollard retired from the cash-rich league. With the duo released, MI will require seam-bowling all-rounders at their disposal and they could look to add Green in the mix. The youngster has been brilliant in the T20I arena and thus, the five-time IPL champions might target him at the auction.
